IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not operate this unit until you have read and understand this Operators Manual and the Engine Owners Manual for Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions. READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HAZARD RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Spilled gasoline and it’s vapors can become ignited from cigarette sparks, electrical arcing, exhaust gases, and hot engine components such as the muffler. • Heat will expand fuel in the tank which could result in spillage and possible fire explosion. • Operating the pressure washer in an explosive environment could result in a fire. HOW TO PREVENT IT • Shut off engine and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank. • Use care in filling tank to avoid spilling fuel. Move pressure washer away from fueling area before starting engine. • Keep maximum fuel level ½" below top of tank to allow for expansion. • Operate and fuel equipment in well ventilated areas free from obstructions. Equip areas with fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline fires. A12496 2- ENG
HAZARD RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE (continued) WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Materials placed against or near the pressure washer can interfere with its proper ventilation features causing overheating and possible ignition of the materials. • Muffler exhaust heat can damage painted surfaces, melt any material sensitive to heat (such as siding, plastic, rubber, or vinyl), and damage live plants. • Improperly stored fuel could lead to accidental ignition. Fuel improperly secured could get into the hands of children or other unqualified persons. • Use of acids, toxic or corrosive chemicals, poisons, insecticides, or any kind of flammable solvent with this product could result in serious injury or death. HOW TO PREVENT IT • Never operate pressure washer in an area containing dry brush or weeds. • Always keep pressure washer a minimum of four feet away from surfaces (such as houses, automobiles, or live plants) that could be damaged from muffler exhaust heat. • Store fuel in an OSHA approved container, in a secure location away from work area. • Do not spray flammable liquids. RISK TO BREATHING HAZARD WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious injury or death! Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. • Some cleaning fluids contain substances which could cause injury to skin, eyes, or lungs. HOW TO PREVENT IT • Operate pressure washer in a well ventilated area. Avoid enclosed areas such as garages, basements, etc. • Never operate unit in a location occupied by humans or animals. • Use only cleaning fluids specifically recommended for high pressure washers. Follow manufacturers recommendations. Do not use chlorine bleach or any other corrosive compound. HAZARD RISK TO FLUID INJECTION WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury. Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately! • Injuries can result if system pressure is not reduced before attempting maintenance or disassembly. HOW TO PREVENT IT • Never place hands in front of nozzle. • Direct spray away from self and others. • Make sure hose and fittings are tightened and in good condition. Never hold onto the hose or fittings during operation. • Do not allow hose to contact muffler. • Never attach or remove wand or hose fittings while system is pressurized. • To relieve system pressure, shut off engine, turn off water supply, and pull gun trigger until water stops flowing. • Use only hoses and accessories rated for pressure higher than your pressure washer's PSI. 3- ENG A12496
